Global CDN

142 PoPs across 6 continents, with intelligent routing and origin shielding. HTTP/3, QUIC, and Brotli on by default.

Learn more

Bot management

Distinguish good bots from bad in real time. Block credential stuffing, scraping, and inventory hoarding without the customer support tickets.

Learn more

Edge compute

Run your code in 142 locations. V8 isolates with zero cold starts. Sub-50ms execution at p99. Deploy from your existing CI/CD.

Threat landscape

The internet is hostile.
We make it boring.

Last quarter, we mitigated 4.2M attacks across our network. Here's what's actually showing up at the edge.

01 / Volumetric

DDoS at L3/L4

Saturating bandwidth and exhausting server resources. Average attack now 12x larger than three years ago.

02 / Application

L7 floods

HTTP request floods that look like real traffic. The hardest to detect, the easiest to ignore until it's too late.

03 / Credential

Account takeover

Distributed credential stuffing across thousands of IPs. Stops only if you're watching at the request level.

04 / API abuse

Scraping & abuse

Inventory hoarding, price scraping, and AI training crawlers consuming your origin without warning.

Architecture

A network engineered for the long tail of unusual.

Fourwheel routes traffic across 142 PoPs using a custom Anycast topology and BGP-aware path selection. We optimize for the tail, not the median, so your worst day still feels like an average one.

  • ✓
    Anycast routing with BGP-awareness Automatic failover when peering paths degrade. Customers see no interruption.
  • ✓
    Origin shielding tier-2 cache One PoP per region absorbs origin pulls. Your origin sees a fraction of the requests it otherwise would.
  • ✓
    HTTP/3 and QUIC by default 0-RTT handshakes for returning visitors. 30% faster page loads on mobile networks.
  • ✓
    Programmable edge with V8 isolates Run JavaScript, Rust, or Go at the edge. Zero cold starts. Per-millisecond billing.

Developer experience

Configuration as code. Auditable by design.

Define security rules, caching behavior, and routing logic in plain YAML or Terraform. Version your edge the same way you version your application. No more clicking through dashboards.
